What does Tahitian Gardenia (Perfume) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate: it neither overwhelms those nearby nor disappears quickly. Voters rate its value for money highly. It reads feminine.

Gardenia leads with a floral, creamy character. Tea adds a green, powdery lightness, while orange brings a citrus freshness and a touch of sweetness. Dior Diorissima and Hermès Jour d'Hermès Gardénia have a close profile.
